Bondi Sands Lotion: Sun screen and lotion in one — what more can one ask for on a summer’s day
I really like the Bondi Sands Sunny Cream SPF 60 Body Lotion. I have always worked outside in the hot Texas sun during yardwork but never used sunscreen that much due to its sticky feeling. However, the Bondi Sands Sunny Cream SPF 60 Body Lotion feels great on my skin.The Bondi Sands Sunny lotion goes on smoothly and once you rub it in all that remains is a light sheen. I am a medium skin tone – like one of the models on the description/marketing pages – and the lotion of the Bondi Sands lotion on my skin is at the level of “just applied” regular skin lotion.The smell of the Bondi Sands Sunny Cream SPF 60 Body Lotion reminds me of a freshly opened box of plastic materials with an aluminum undernote. The smell is not overwhelming – I had to place my nose right next to the area where I applied the lotion to really get this scent. I did not smell hibiscus, or maybe this is the way Australian hibiscus smells.I was not sure whether all of my vigorous shaking was fulfilling the “shake before using” requirement so I kneaded the bottle until I believed that I had successfully mixed the product. It is the end of winter when I wrote this review, so I was not able to assess this lotion with sunscreen under a summer sun.

Nothing like the chemical sunscreen smell all over your body.
This sunscreen has literally only a couple of good and recognizable natural ingredients in it (like aloe and hibiscus fruit extract) and the rest are all chemical–especially the active ingredients. It would be great if these products would be transparent and put their ingredient lists front and center on the product page. The ingredients include 2 different forms of silicones, formula stabilizers, etc. Most of these ingredients will not be recognizable to people without a chemistry familiarity or degree.These active ingredients are all readily absorbed into your skin in a single use and octocrylene has been shown to lead to aquatic toxicity but hasn’t been officially banned yet. The only approved and safe ingredients to use in sunscreen, by the FDA, is titanium oxide and zinc oxide–which this sunscreen has nothing of.I did test this out at least for those who don’t care about what they put on their skin and just want the convenience of a sunscreen that will not leave a white cast. It leaves a slightly tacky feeling for a while on the skin with a sheen. The most offensive to me is the chemical sunscreen smell. It is great they did not add any fragrance but they also did nothing to mask or diminish that familiar sunscreen smell. It’s strong and unappealing to me.Between the not good for you ingredients and the smell–it’s a pass. However, for those who don’t have those issues–the size is decent and the dispenser (twist the top to open the little hole) is easy to use. It is water resistant so that might be appealing as well for some….just don’t go into any non-pool setting because this will harm wild life and water quality.

Nice!
Nice bottle that clicks closed so you know it won’t leak all over.Very nice lightweight – zero white cast.I put it on underneath makeup and had no issues…also it doesn’t move a lot – meaning I didn’t end up getting into my eyes and stinking the heck out of them. I like that this is high spf ..
